may be the excuse of this Ute trouble,
and whether it was justifiable or not.
the fact re mains that there is a difficulty
and 1t will only be avoided by the hasty
return OF the renegades TO their reserya-
ton, State authorities have gone too
far to retrace their steps, and the In
dams give no signal of an inten-
ton to retire. Sheriff Kendall
started from Meeker Wednesday with
nine men to locate the Indians, whom
he found in camp near the Old Thorn
burg battle field They were too smart
for him, however, and got in his rear,
after Il stubborn fight, in which four Of
Kendall's men were wounded and three
horses killed. The party succeeded in
escaping, bringing their wounded to
Meeker. This wss the first white blood
drawn in the conflict Couriers were
hastily sent to GlenwOOd, who
met company of fifty well armed vol
unteers from Aspen on the road and the
latter party FASTENED forward. Infor-
nation was conveyed also to Gen. West
at Glenwood Springs. where troops
from Denver and other points are en-
camped. This morning mounted men
left GlenwOod for the front with the
possibility thar they may encounter In
dians on the road.

Quick on the Trigger.

ST. LOUIS, August 20.-A special from
Pleasant Hill, Mo, says: About noon
Friday, Major G. G. Dawson, an old and
much respected citizen Of this place, WAS
instantly killed by man named Charles
Tabor. 1t seems that Major Dawson
and Tabor had Just finished game of
pool, and as the latter lost and had no
money, he asked the Major to settle.
which he did. The two then started
down the street together when the
Major jokingly remarked: 81 guess IN
have to lock you up" Tabor instantly
drew revolver and fired two shots,
which took effect In the majors breast,
near the heart, causing instant death.
When taken into custody kit of bur-
glars tools was found in possession of
the murderer, and it is supposed that he
believed Major Dawson to be detect
i've and that he feared arrest.

Stanley and EmIn Bey Meet.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-In the letters Of
Henry NJ. Stanley, written at Gamburg
near the rapids OF Aruwimi. June 10, the
explorer says the natives evacuated the
place upon the arrival Of expedition
owing to fright produced by a vigorous
blowing Of steamboats, whistle. They
returned afterwaTd. evincing every ami
cable disposition, and promised to sup
ply the expedition with provisions. They
informed Mr.. Stanley that there were
other rapids higher up, more difficult of
navigation, and that further progress by
river would be impossible. Sir Francis
DewintOn. president Of the Emin Bey
relief committee, commenting on the
letter, says he calculates that by this
time Stanley and Emin Bey have met.

Not Yet Accounted For.

ST. LOUIS, August 20.-Martin Bailey,
printer, is in Jail, his wife is in bed
with her throat cut, and in the next
room lies year old baby dead, with
blood oOZing from its mouth. Yester-
day, Bailey went to work as usual; at 10
O'Clock last night he returned home and
found his baby dead. He called his wife
to the room and when she saw the life
less little form she ran to the kitchen
and in an instant had cut her throat.
1t is possible that she may recover.
Then Bailey acted so queerly, he was in
quite a good humor, smoked a cigar
with relish and seemed to enjoy the sit
uation. That is why he was arrested.
His wife appeared crazed. Bailey says
she had spells and had been growing
worse. He brought her from Chicago.
She will recover. The cause of the in
fant's death is a mystery and olrcum-
stances point to the father or mother as
